Privacy

Our approach to protecting user privacy through deliberate design choices

Privacy First Practices

At Onetime Secret, we take a deliberately minimal approach to user privacy. Here's what we deliberately choose not to do, and more importantly, why.

Our No-Email Philosophy

Most services flood your inbox with:

  • Marketing newsletters
  • Product updates
  • Usage statistics
  • Feature announcements
  • Promotional offers
  • Re-engagement campaigns

We limit our email communications to only the most essential communications: secret link deliveries and critical account notifications. We'll never send marketing emails or unsolicited updates. We believe your inbox belongs to you.

Industry Standards We Skip

We deliberately avoid common tracking and marketing tools:

  • Analytics packages that track user behavior
  • Social media integration buttons
  • Advertising networks
  • A/B testing frameworks
  • Marketing automation tools
  • Third-party tracking pixels

Why This Matters

Our approach centers on three core principles:

  1. Respect privacy: Your data is yours, period
  2. Focus on reliability: The tool should simply work when you need it
  3. Build trust through action: We prove our commitment through what we don't do

The Real Impact

By avoiding standard marketing and tracking practices, we:

  • Maintain a cleaner, faster service
  • Reduce potential security vulnerabilities
  • Keep your data under direct control
  • Stay focused on our core purpose

We invest our time in:

  • Core Functionality: Improving the essential features that matter to users
  • Privacy Protection: Strengthening safeguards for user data
  • Service Reliability: Ensuring the service is there when you need it
  • Compliance: Meeting legal and regulatory requirements

Looking Forward

We'll continue prioritizing simplicity and privacy over marketing reach. While this means we might grow more slowly than services that aggressively market themselves, we believe it's the right choice for a privacy-focused tool.

You can trust Onetime Secret to be there when you need it, without the constant reminders that you have an account with us.
